Key Features:
-
MISB ST 0601 Support (Out of the Box)
Fully supports the widely-used ST 0601 metadata format for UAVs and ISR systems. -
KLV Packet Encoding & Decoding
Encode metadata from structured input or decode binary KLV packets into human-readable, structured data. -
Auto-Detection of Standards
No need to hard-code MISB standards—libMISB interprets the format from the input metadata file or encoded packet. -
Extendable Architecture
Additional standards like ST 0806, ST 2101, or full STANAG 4609 support can be added upon request. -
Simple Integration into C and GStreamer Applications
Use the standalone library or plug into GStreamer pipelines with RidgeRun’s application examples.
Example Use Case:
An unmanned aerial system (UAS) streaming surveillance video embeds ST 0601-compliant KLV metadata (GPS coordinates, heading, platform speed) using libMISB. On the ground, a command center decodes the same stream with libMISB to overlay metadata on video playback and trigger geofencing alerts—all without writing custom metadata parsing code.
What’s Included:
-
libMISB license and source code
-
API documentation and usage examples
-
GStreamer integration examples for encoding/decoding metadata streams
-
Optional 11-hour Embedded Software Support package for integration or extension
Supported Platforms:
-
x86-64 Linux
-
NVIDIA Jetson (Nano, TX2, Xavier NX, AGX Orin)
-
Texas Instruments (AM62x, AM64x)
-
NXP i.MX8
-
Qualcomm RB5, RB6, C8550
-
Any Linux-based embedded platform

Customer Reviews
"As a side note: just to let you know, I'm really happy to be working with RidgeRun in general. It's pretty clear that you tell it like you see it, and know what you do and don't know; it's really refreshing. That's super rare on these kinds of technical engagements when everyone seems to either want to claim expertise they don't have, or are so cautious they are don't actually say anything useful"
